Who Are The People In Your Neighborhood?

As a fan of Mr. Rogers, I thought we'd focus this week on the people who are part of our everyday life and thus make us feel at home. (Right, that was a teaching objective if every there was one!). Readers will be able to identify and name people in the ML's world in NI. Um, okay, maybe it's time for a break from school? Oh, yes, it just started. Oh, well.
Today's victum: Paul, the stationmaster.
When I go to work in the morning on the train I almost always see Paul who sells tickets and is, I guess, in charge of the Greenisland Station. He has been so very n ice from the start, and was one of the first people that I came to know here (other then the friends and fam list). He is amazing with kids, and oh so very patient when the lower school boys (aged 13 or so) are pushing and play fighting near the tracks every morning. He also gives the little ones, like E, suckers and little treats. I thought it was just Paul til Margaret told me that their train guy gives balloons. Go figure! So, here's to Paul for making this american girl in ireland feel like a local!
We're off for the day with Joan, the Spanish, French, German, Italian teacher from school. Nifty, eh?
